Ultimate outfit selfie shot. If you want to capture your entire outfit yourself, this is probably the best angle to do it. Not the most ideal pictures but I wanted to post and update the blog. Still wearing those maroon boots I mentioned in the last post. And I'm still stuck on Ariana Grande's album! It's so addicting...

Anyway! The biggest change recently might have to be my HAIR! I chopped off about 5 to 6 inches! You can reference from previous blog posts how long my hair was and how it may look now. I'm still waiting to post a full outfit with my new hair. It's something I've been thinking about for a couple of months now. Hair is no joke. I, like many girls, felt like my hair was a safety net. Something I relied on as part of my entire look and style. I really wanted to challenge myself and be brave so I decided one day, "Okay, just go to your hair stylist and do it!" I drove there after work, totally mentally prepared, only to find that the store was closed until the following week. I had such a.... -____-.... moment. I realized I couldn't wait so I just had my sister do it for me in our bathroom. My sister is by no means a hair stylist or anything. She just goes on instincts and does what she has seen before but I trust her with anything. First, she did a blunt cut but added just a bit of layers so it looks more natural. I'm loving it and thought I would regret it the next day but I actually want to go shorter! We'll see.... One cut at a time.

Work is about to slow down a little bit so hopefully, I'll be posting some outfits, details and all, soon! Hang in there!

Pink Champagne

1st outfit: Dress|Brandy Melville, Denim Jacket|Thrifted (GAP, boys size 10), Bag|Urban Outfitters, Shoes|H&M

2nd outfit: Jacket|Brandy Melville, Shorts&Shoes|H&M

"Everyday I'm grindin', don't even get a weekend"

Right when I heard those words from Ariana Grande's "Pink Champagne", I instantly liked the song. Never have I related more to a song's lyrics than when I heard those words. It's been a busy couple of weeks, which explains the lack of outfit posts. Since the days are getting shorter, you really gotta race the sun for some good lighting but sometimes, you lose. Instead, I'm left with taking pictures in the most random places like inside a supermarket or under a bright street lamplight. Quick updates on some recent favorites: Ariana Grande's album and these maroon boots from H&M.

Ariana's entire album is so cohesive that if you like one song, you'll like them all. I have "Honeymoon Avenue" on repeat and I also love "You'll Never Know". I can continue with the list of my favorite songs but I'll basically give you the entire album. Okay, one more. "Better Left Unsaid". Okay. That's it. Go listen for yourself! As far as these boots, maroon/burgundy,ox blood etc.etc. is definitely an essential fall/winter color. You can't tell but my nails are a deep red color, as well. The maroon is just a nice change from the typical black or brown boots. Even though the shoes are a shade of red, I feel like I can treat them like a neutral and wear them with a lot of different outfits!

I'll be sure to be back soon! But if you wanna stay updated more frequently or quicker, check out my Instagram

Primary prep

Button up|A&F, Sweater&Shoes|Forever 21, Pants|Holliser, Bag|Zara

This outfit came together so quickly as I was rushing out the door. I don't know if you can tell but this is my hair in it's natural state. Besides combing out a few knots at the ends, I didn't have time to do anything to it. Luckily, my hair had some volume from drying overnight. I wanted to wear a sweater but felt like I needed to dress it up for work so I layered it over a sleeveless button up. The collar made this cropped sweater a little more office friendly, don't you think? Since I had mustard and navy, I chose the maroon pants to complete the primary colors. They're all such great color tones for fall! Finishing it off with a pair of taupe booties really completed the outfit. I love the look of layering but sometimes it can be a bit constricting and stuffy. That's why I like using a sleeveless button up to layer with because you get to wear a put together look without sacrificing any comfort! And if you're going to be at work for 8 hours during the day, you NEED to be comfortable.

Does anyone else here have a money tree in/near their home?

Sunday Funday

Dress|Brandy Melville, Denim Jacket|Thrifted (GAP, Boys size 10) Bag|Zara, Shoes|Forever 21

I know "Sunday Funday" may seem like an average thing but it's rare and few for me. Today was the second day I've had off in over a month! I'm definitely not complaining though because I love everything I'm doing and the people I work with. I just appreciate these days off more. My boyfriend just got off of a graveyard shift and decided to go out with me an hour after arriving home. He didn't want to waste my day off. Isn't that he the best?! Oh, and he is usually the one taking all my photos. His patience and support really helped me get going and stay consistent with my blog. He knows how much it means to me and I hope you guys are enjoying it so far!

Endless summer

Top|Brandy Melville, Shorts&Shoes|Forever 21, Bag|Zara, Watch|Marc Jacobs

I always seem to start my posts with something about the weather but I can't help it! Today was 84 degrees. EIGHTYfour. It was beyond perfect! I had work later in the day so I was able to enjoy some of this awesome weather with a nice, iced milk tea with... grass jelly. The place I went to ran out of pearls. *sadface. Fun fact: I'm obsessed with milk tea ESPECIALLY with pearls. Gotta have my pearls or tapioca or boba, whatever you want to call it. During the summer, I'd have it 5 to 6 times a week! Sounds excessive but I never got sick of it.

How's the weather in your part of town? or... city or country. ANYWHERE! By the way, someone said I looked 16 today. That's the youngest I've heard in a looong time. Teehee

It was 57 degrees when I took these photos but luckily, I work indoors and move around a lot so I wasn't cold all day long! Even though the skies were blue, the air was chilly. And if the morning air had a color, it's be a mix of black, white, and grey. I looooove speckled knits and I cringed at the price a bit when I bought this cardigan but the color and comfort makes it so worth it. Oh! And if you love speckled knits too, Target has some legit speckled boot socks. I only got one color so far (grey, of course) but there are plenty to choose from. And at only $5 a pair, I'm probably going to go back and get some more!

And guess what, guys? Its October 3rd. ^.^ #meangirls
